Link4, a regional leader in e-Invoicing solutions, has welcomed Sri Lanka’s 2026 Budget introducing a national e-Invoicing system.

The Company said the move is a major step towards e-invoicing and digital tax compliance.

Link4, brings extensive experience in supporting businesses across Asia-Pacific to comply with emerging e-Invoicing regulations. With Sri Lanka joining the global shift toward digital tax compliance, Link4 is positioned to assist local businesses through this important transition.

Link4 Senior Sales Manager Dilshad Mohideen said: “The introduction of a national e-Invoicing system is a pivotal move for Sri Lanka’s digital transformation journey. It not only streamlines compliance for businesses but also fosters transparency and efficiency in tax administration. We look forward to supporting companies as they adapt to these new requirements and embrace digital invoicing as a core part of their operations.”

Budget 2026 also highlights broader digital infrastructure improvements, including upgrades to RAMIS and plans to implement e-procurement systems, reflecting the government’s commitment to modernising public financial management.

The recently presented Budget 2026 by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake signals a transformative shift in Sri Lanka’s digital economy with the introduction of a national e-Invoicing system. This system will leverage API-based integration between taxpayers’ ERP systems and the Revenue Administration Management Information System (RAMIS), marking a significant advancement in tax compliance and digital governance.

Following a pilot phase, the e-Invoicing system will expand to include export-oriented firms, then all VAT-registered taxpayers, and eventually integrate with point-of-sale (POS) machines. This phased rollout aims to enable real-time transaction tracking and strengthen VAT compliance throughout the country.

E-Invoicing is increasingly recognised globally as an essential tool for reducing errors, preventing tax fraud, and streamlining the tax filing process. By automating invoice exchange between businesses and tax authorities, e-Invoicing improves transparency and speeds up VAT collection; benefits that Sri Lanka aims to realise through this initiative.
